Sand Circles: Mind Blowing And Magical Shapes On The Beach

There's something mystical and wondrous about the geometric patterns found throughout nature.

1. North Beach, Tenby Harbour

"The patterns I create on the beaches are all inspired by sacred geometry. The idea of 'sacredness' transpires from the realisation that these patterns appear everywhere from the very small, the quantum field or the microcosm, to the very large, the cosmic realms or the macrocosm."

2. Stunning geometric shapes caved in the sand.

"From the orbit of an electron around its nucleus within an atom to that of a galaxy around the central galactic sun, the same patterns can be seen again and again." Picture: Marc Treanor Facebook

This one makes our head hurt if we look at it too long! Picture: Marc Treanor Facebook

4. Pwllgwaelod beach

"The spiral of our own DNA double helix, the positioning of the seeds in a sunflower head, the slow and perfect growth of a Nautilus sea shell, the powerful spiralling winds of a tropical storm and the twisting arms of our Milky Way galaxy are all part of the same movement. A movement based on harmony and demonstratable using a progressive sequence of numbers called The Fibonacci Sequence." Picture: Marc Treanor Facebook

5. Mwnt Beach

"These are just examples of the undeniable interconnectedness of all matter. An example of how geometrical patterns are to be found within and without the human form." Picture: Marc Treanor Facebook

6. A stunning sun shape pattern created by 'Shipwrecked Vagrant' in Cornwall

"Our bodies can be seen as the interface between the cosmic and the quantum, a doorway between the worlds of the very small and the very large. To quote the adage: 'As above, so below.'" Picture: Marc Treanor Facebook

7. Amazing lines disappearing into the sea...

"In creating these beautiful patterns on the beaches I am consciously stepping in to the dance of matter." Picture: Marc Treanor Facebook

"By scribing these sacred blue prints into the silica of the shores I briefly still the patterns of movement that defines all of existence." Picture: Marc Treanor Facebook

9. Trebarwith Strand

"For these circles, these mandalas point to the eternal truth of impermanence. Every thing appears and disappears in a continual dance of life. A movement between creation and destruction. And me, the human interface, the fulcrum, dancing between the two worlds." Picture: Marc Treanor Facebook

10. Trebarwith Strand

"In the inexpressible present surrounded by the infinite loops of past and future I create an existence that can only be grasped until the next tide washes it away and leaves the sand empty and like a tabula rasa, ready to be rewritten upon...and all of that jiving around!" Picture: Marc Treanor Facebook

11. Pwyll Gwaelod

"The essence of all you see, only exists because of a very profound order of certain repeating mathematical formulas that create the foundation of all matter, from atoms to galaxies." Picture: Marc Treanor Facebook

Is it just us or does this incredible creation remind you of a brain slightly? Picture: Marc Treanor Facebook
